Took the boat out today and I noticed when we were cruising about 3,000 RPM's that I occasionally felt the boat was not moving smoothly, (i.e., lunging back and forth now and then). Like a car when it misses but the motor sounded like it was running smoothly. I moved the motor down further in the water and the same thing. I then moved the motor up a bit and the same. I then pulled the throttle and the engine rev'ed up but no real or little gain in speed from the 3,000 to 4,500 RPM's. It seems like the propeller might be slipping. If so, is this easy to tighten? The motor is still under warranty but I do not have a trailer and the dealer is about 30 miles from my house so I thought if this is an easy fix, I would try myself before contacting the dealer. Thanks.
